"The original plan for the Bus Rapid Transit in Cebu was a disaster waiting to happen and had to undergo major revisions.  It did not consider the limitations of existing infrastructures. One cannot just conceptualize and introduce a new mode of transportation without a proper integration model that blends design with urban landscape seamlessly.   With changes in the project’s technical design, the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit System (CEBRT) as part of the Cebu Integrated Intermodal Transport System (CIITS) now covers a 35-kilometer road corridor of which, 13.2 kilometers are dedicated bus ways from the South Road Properties (SRP) in the southeast to the north and, 22.1 kilometers of three segments considered as feeder services. These feeder segments are: Mambaling-Talisay stretching 8.7 km; SRP-Talisay with 8.2 km stretch; and, IT Park to Talamban stretching 5.2 km. This is far better than the original 21.58 kilometer corridor route with 16 kilometers of segregated bus lanes. Not o...
